Is everything too small for you?
If everything is too small for you, you may want to claim for the extra that you seem to have owing to you.
The average height of the male of our species seems to be about 5'9", with females at about 5'4".
This means that, for those of us who are big-boned, endomorphic, of considerable volume or just plain gifted in the growth department, there is a shortfall of sitting, standing, breathing and overall comfort space.
I would like to have this space, and I would really like it now.
I reckon that at 6'4" I'm pretty much 76/69ths larger, or only getting 69/76ths of what I am entitled to.
This is about 10%. An average table is 32" high. Tables should now be at least 35" high. Urinals, doors, chairs and chaise-lounges, lounges in general, and buses should all be increased by 10% to accomodate what I have been denied for a large proportion of my life.
Others who are in this same awful predicament, please comment on what is clearly a tax on the tall, a largesse on the largest, and designed to make us bigger than we really are simply by placing us in the wrong scale world.
